No. I think it would simply get better.

I NEED a pair of Fourth Doctor arm warmers – how did I never think to make these for myself?!

I’m knitting my husband a Jayne Cobb hat and a Fourth Doctor scarf for this winter – but I have to wonder: if he wears them together, will the universe go all wibbly wobbly?

It’s a Doctor Who party, of course it’s a costume party! ;) That is awesome. I love seeing kids dressed up.
I’m just happy I get to watch it at home without my husband complaining about the squeeks of joy I’ll be making throughout. I’ll probably be snuggled under my TARDIS blanket wearing one of my Doctor Who t-shirts and Fourth Doctor arm-warmers.

I’m so excited about the 50th Special – I think my daughter is dressing up like a weeping angel. I’m going as the Silence! We never checked if it’s a costume party or not.

Oh, I hope I can include fabric shopping into a love list soon! And sending lots of positive vibes your way.

I've been meaning to post my love list since Friday, but the best happy accident happened: my work computer went on the fritz and I was forced into taking an all day break! This is a crazy time of year for me and I never slow down until I push through my year-end projects. Not so on Friday! I let my internet fast continue through the weekend, except for maybe 15 minutes each evening. It was bliss. Other things I'm loving at present: recipe testing for Kitee, and especially - finding uses for teff sourdough starter .|. giving a vegan mac n' cheese cooking demo to a group of vegan pledges, and seeing their faces when they took that first bite .|. Nina wants to be Q-bert for Hallowe'en next year, and has decided to teach herself Q-bertese .|. eavesdropping on a conversation between Nina and her friend R, and hearing them toss the word 'vegan' around in conversation with normalcy and ease .|. my husband, for talking me into a Walking Dead marathon to accompany my knitting marathon .|. being a night person, so after said husband turns in I can watch the Following and Asylum by myself while knitting a secret gift for him .|. did I mention testing for Kittee? because this cookbook of hers is going to be AMAZING and I finally had a legit excuse to stock up on Ethiopian spices and I forgot how much I love bere bere and am now putting it on everything .|. radishes! so many of them coming up that I lost track of which varieties I planted where, and I just can't wait to start plucking them out of the soil. Happy Monday!

Love List!
-Fabric Shopping Trip with Mom and cousin :)
-My kittens :)
-Brownies :)
-Getting all the yard work done!

I also need to ask you all for some positive/good luck vibes. My external hard drive was damaged, and it’s unclear how much of my data is salvageable. I have a dear friend who is very skilled at data recovery working on it right noe, but there is almost a decade of my life backed up on that thingthousands of pictures, my entire Master’s Portfolio, and innumerbale irreplacable files. Please send vibes that it is not lost and everything will be recoverable. Thank you!!!

I’m glad, because it’s true. :)
I’m hopefully going to be going to Gallaudet University for Linguistics with a focus on ASL. Their program is amazing and is the best place for focusing on ASL.
If there aren’t free classes in your area, there are always Deaf people who are willing to help you learn their language. Most are usually really happy that someone wants to learn, and Waits is at a perfect age to start learning too.

Amanda Palmer has spoken at length about this issue, like here, and here, and oh also in her acclaimed TED Talk, here. But really, she's been involved in so many scandals, who can keep them all straight? That's what tends to happen to fiercely independent revolutionaries who are driven to share and make art and make noise. Especially when said revolutionaries happen to have vaginas. So you don't have to like her, that's fine, but I friggin' adore her and happen to think she's one of the most incredible and visionary thinkers of our time. Difference of opinion!
